Festivale Update 1.7.0 - Share what you discovered! [SPOILERS]

[Rosch]

Have to say I'm intrigued by these datamines even more than the update so far.

Trying not to get my hopes up too much since I've gotten burned on datamines before but it at least seems like they're trying to develop new stuff. I'm especially curious about the alleged 5000 new furniture items. Are any of these items named in the files or are they just generic numbers and placeholders? Are we thinking these items are for future events or is there going to be some sort of massive new item dump all at once.​

They were only referenced by code. The items are not really in the game though, the reason they cannot be discovered. No item names, no pics. The said items are actually "finished" though. So I guess they're just waiting for the right time to put it in, and I hope it arrives this March.

Holiday updates are done (assuming they don't change the ones we got), what we need now are actual mechanic and gameplay updates.

Uchi and lazy villagers get up earlier.

I don't like them all being awake around the same time as I want a break from them dumping rubbish onto me, and there's no Tortimer island to escape to.

According to the discord, it still hasn't been patched. I don't know if it's been tested, though.

I've only successfully done this glitch a few times so I'm no expert. But I had redone my island to use this glitch and when I tried to do it again no matter how I tried it I could not get it to work. I ended up destroying what I had built to use it because it wasn't as cute without the glitch. So if it does work still someone let me know lol.

Are megaphones locked to two colour variations per island? I've been time travelling back and forward to get the Glittery and Starry variations, but I've only been seeing the Football and Fiery Megaphones (aka the ones I don't like, naturally!)

Thanks for sharing these updates! It saves me a lot of time to discover them all myself.

Since I don't time travel, it's really hard for me to enjoy any new content until the actual event day.

Uchi villagers get up earlier.

Is this true?? I haven't noticed Cherry wake up earlier, but maybe it's just not as early as I'm up.

There is a chance a villager can wake up at 5am as well as stay up very late into the night. It's just a thing the game does.

Maybe that's what happened

Yeah that could be it. I've seen that happen and then the villager will say something when you talk to them how they usually aren't up that early. It makes me laugh that Uchi villager get up so late, but also a tad frustrating because I feel like I never see them.

I just found that lazy villagers are up earlier too unfortunately.

Lucky was just crafting at 7.00 AM.

Cherry was up an hour earlier yesterday, crafting.

Not inside.

Mine were awake inside.

I know you get an early riser every now and then, wandering around outside, they even tell you they woke up early, but not in their houses, crafting.

i thought that there was always a villager who would be crafting no matter the time you logged on? there was always a 3 hour interval for them to be crafting, and that can happen 3 times a day, right? i honestly don't know the full dynamic of it, though.

Nope.

Sometimes the first villager to craft, could be the last villager to wake up.

Cherry used to wake up last, and has sometimes been the first one to craft anything for the day.

Edit. And now they're awake at the usual time after I TT'd forward and back a day.

I keep seeing all these game guide info websites post to their social media all the items we get this new update and I am so excited so I’m assuming we unlock the vday items feb 1st but the festival update unlocks the 15th?

The festivale items unlock become available Feb 1, but the actual event and reward unlock Feb 15

 

[John Wick]

This isn't Pocket Camp. It's my fully paid for, offline game.

WHY are events locked?
WHO is it hurting?

It's MY GAME?

Stop messing with it, and just release a proper FINISHED version that I can play the way I want.
Remove crafting and autosave too while you're at it.

I bought an extra starry one you can have.

just because you bought a copy doesn't make it your game, though you own a copy of the game. the game is still nintendo's. and they still have all reservations, rights, etc., to do what they want with said game. no one has to like it, but no one can make demands on it either.

 

[Jaco]

Yea, the terms of use for video games are getting tighter over the years. There was a time where basically every game really was "yours" when you bought it, but companies are slipping things into their terms of use that buying the game is sort of just buying a license and that they control the full experience.

Don't know for sure how much that applies to Nintendo and Animal Crossing specifically, but I bet it's in there somewhere.

Just to add to the post: whenever you buy a game, you're not buying the game, but a license to play that game. In the case of physical copies, the physical part is just a physical "interface". It's a bridge, and it's not necessary anymore because of digital distribution. And that's also why the game companies have been pushing hard towards a full-digital market.

Yeah, it sucks, and the only way not to deal with it is to just stop buying new games. While there's still complete physical releases, the absolute majority of the games are released without "finishing touches" for a reason. Day 1 patches are a thing on purpose. The consumer has less control over the game they bought, and that's by design. Read any EULA of any game you've bought in the last 5 years and you'll understand what I'm saying. They want full control of the games because they can, legally, just revoke your access to the license of a game you've bought without any warning or good reason. Yeah, and they can also re-release that game again so if you want to keep playing, then buy it one more time.

This is not related to AC or this thread, but I just wanted to say this because understanding how the industry works makes you guys less prone to such kind of disappointment.
